Asus tuf z390 + core i7 9700k

Post by xr_a_y »

Just built my new system and it is really fast using avx2 and bmi2. Minic is reaching 2200knps single core, this is twice as fast as my current testing hardware. It reaches near 20000 knps on 8 cores. Great !

One problem though is that it also reaches 90C despite my dark rock pro 4 cooling system. I read some forum where people complain about mother boards automatic over clocking feature, i will try to tune this soon.

Does someone already struggle with this hardware?

I have been quite happy with the Noctua NH-D14.
It's a big boy, so not all cases will have room, but it has been keeping my OC'd i920 cool for years.

No idea how it ranks with today's top coolers.
I suppose water cooling would be better, but I'm an old IT dinosaur and water still makes me very uncomfortable.
